bul·ly1 ( P ) (bl)n. pl. bul·lies
A person who is habitually cruel or overbearing, especially to smaller or weaker people.

just went to dicitonary.com to check the definition of the word "bully" because i thought i had been bullied, but on reading the definition i don't think that i was bullied anymore.

but anyway, i am always reluctant to walk home from choa chu kang mrt station everyday when i go home. therefore, i always take the 302 bus although it is only two stops.

the reason why i ALWAYS avoid walking home is because of a few rather terrifying incidents that made me feel uneasy. during the evenings and afternoons, there will be a lot of kranji secondary school students walking that exact same path i take to reach home. it is this long stretch of sheltered pathway, comprising of bridges, zebra-crossings and traffic-lights.

kranji secondary school is just opposite my block of flats. so it is like i am walking home BUT the kranji students are walking in gangs from the opposite direction. and so when we walked past each other, there will be this "face-to-face" situation.

and most of the time, there will be this bunch of rather crazy, ah-beng like, unkempt, rather disgusting malay kranji boys walking towards choa chu kang interchange together. and when they see me from afar i have this very very very uncomfortable and uneasy feeling becasue they seem to be looking at me like from the time when we are rather far apart till when we walked past each other. they looked like they are gonna punch me up and rob me or something. and when we walked past each other, they will passed some silly sarcastic remarks like "WAH!!! RI ah!" (which i really wonder why, because i don't think RV's school uniform has ANY resemblance to that of RI's AT ALL except maybe for the "R"). some of them will like purposely walk really close to me and look at me straight in my face.

i thought that such experiences are rather terrifying. it is very difficult to describe and i don't know how but still it is terrifying because i have the feeling that they will actually beat me up someday. so i decided to take the bus instead most of the time. moreover it is in the afternoon so i would not have any stomachache problems.
